Chapter 112: Households

This trip to Tanzhe Temple, although there was a turmoil, the turmoil has been settled, but seeing the looks of Ma and Lan Lan, they were both tired, so they went home, had dinner together, and did not mention each other. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

It's just that Zhang Zhaohua went back to his courtyard, and he would think about what he saw today, and there were some places that he couldn't understand, so he told Mama Qian about everything, and asked: "Then Su Eunniang is good, why doesn't the government approve the document?" Lu Zhen's judgment said that there is no prohibition on the law, and the law is not to be allowed to be good, so why does Su still say that he pleaded with all kinds of things, but he couldn't get approval!"

"Su Eunniang's name, maybe Niangniang has never heard of it," Qian Mama said, "But I have heard it." She was also the daughter of a good family, her father was also an official, and she was an official in the fourth grade, but she was involved in Hu Weiyong's case, was handcuffed to death in prison, and her family property was lost, and she had no home, so she was sent to the Teaching Workshop Division to undertake. ”

Zhang Zhaohua calculated, although Hu Weiyong was sentenced to death in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, but the Hu case that really implicated tens of thousands of people was twenty-three years since Hongwu, and the eunuch should have been an eleven or twelve-year-old girl at that time, but she was treated like this and assigned to the Department of Education.

However, Mama Qian said: "At the beginning, it was not a musician, but a household. ”

She said that only those who were involved in the case were assigned to the Department of Education, which was a little better, because it was just for the government;

"Yinghu," Zhang Zhaohua said incredulously: "Yinghu isβ€”"

Zhang Zhaohua can imagine how painful the eunuch's career in the Datong Army should be, if the music system of the previous dynasty was more for sound and entertainment, the people in the music of this dynasty are the victims of the power struggle, and it is the struggle for power within the ruling class that has caused many innocent people, especially women, to be tortured -- this has become a means and tool of repression, just to highlight the meaning of politics and punishment, but it has made countless people in it sad and miserable in the dark, and have nowhere to speak.

"Several times in prison, countless women have been imprisoned," Qian Mama said slowly: "Some of them soon died of torture, and some of them were struggling to endure, just knowing that there was still a way to be good." But being good is like climbing to the sky. ”

As long as you are listed on the music book, you are not allowed to change your identity unless there are special circumstances, that is, you are not allowed to be good. As Mama Qian said: "It is the most difficult thing for Lehu to settle down, the government is afraid that there is a shortage of people to accept, and the boss has been angry in the past, and there are many inconveniences, but nine out of ten are unwilling." Therefore, the hand-over from the good is always written: 'Mu "Zhou Nan" of the transformation, this meaning is good, the empty Hebei group, please do not allow. ’”

Unless the Lehu and the official in charge have great affection, or are lucky, and bump into a person who is willing to help vigorously, there may be hope for good things, just like Yan Rui of the Song Dynasty met Yue Lin, took pity on her situation, and sentenced her to leave, which can be described as a very happy encounter. In addition, how difficult it is to get the government's sentence of "returning to the country and choosing a husband to marry"! Congliang is the dream of all Qinglou women, and they dream that one day they can marry a wishful husband, and from then on they can break away from the happy family, be a clean white man, teach each other husband and children, and live a peaceful life.

However, after going through hardships and finally becoming a family is just a novelist's words, in fact, the music book belongs to the category of people who are looked down upon, and the dynasty originally divided the household registration into three types: civil registration, military registration, and craftsman registration, and the music nationality is not even included in the following. Although there are great difficulties in both military and craftsman registrations, it is nothing compared to music registration. To put it bluntly, it is the object of pleasure, and some people of folk nationality are willing to marry as wives, and they can leave their nationality and change their nationality to civil nationality with their husbands, which is the origin of Congliang, and the children born will not follow their mothers but their fathers to naturalize.

But those who dare to marry Lehu women also have to bear the white eyes and pressure of the world, and they are often despised by the world, which is not something that ordinary people can bear, which is why the scholars regard going to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion as a romantic and elegant thing, no one says how prodigal, but when you say that you want to marry a prostitute home, you will be laughed at by everyone, which is immoral.

And Lehu, who did not leave his nationality but did not accept customers, was guilty of a big taboo, Su Eunniang was like this, determined to keep her chastity for Shi Jinqing and no longer accept guests - but her former benefactor was naturally unwilling, and when she met in the temple today, she naturally had to hold on.

"Mama," Zhang Zhaohua asked, "Is there a man among the households?"

"Of course there is," Mama Qian said, "Among the families of the convicts, there are naturally young children, and they are not included in the music register, and these men actually live a hundred times more painful than women." Because women still have the possibility of leaving their nationality and becoming good, men will never be able to go ashore. ”

Most of the girls and women in the music book sing and dance, and sell their lives as a business, if they have a good opportunity, they will go ashore from the good, but the man of the music nationality cannot change his nationality for a lifetime, and it is impossible for a woman of civil nationality to be willing to marry him, because the child born is from the father's nationality, who wants to be born with such a lowly place of origin, can not study, can not be an official, and will be entertained all his life, and be blasphemed!

Then these men can only be combined with the women in the Lehu group, and the children they give birth to are still musicians, and there is no day for them to come out in their lives, and it can be expected that all men can only sing and sing small songs, play the pipa, or stand outside the door, watching their wives and daughters being insulted, and live this undignified life.

"Even if the family members of the criminals who are not admitted to the Le nationality are guilty," Zhang Zhaohua said: "But what is the sin of the children they gave birth to, why should they bear such sins from generation to generation!"

This era is the repayment of the father's debts and the son's debts, and the sins will be repaid from generation to generation, but Zhang Zhaohua can't accept it, which is somewhat similar to the nature of the so-called red five categories and black five categories in the memory of the previous life, and in today's feudal China, the emphasis on bloodline is from beginning to end, unlike the previous life There was only a period of time, and the bloodline at this time, especially the bloodline under the two origins of craftsman and music, was branded as soon as he was born and could not be washed away for life.

The lowliness of Lehu's status is also reflected in the official and crown uniforms, the previous generation of Jiaofang officials can reach the highest third grade, and the highest rank of the current dynasty Jiaofang Division is the ninth grade, and the officials of the Jiaofang Division in Beijing stand with the hundred officials when they are in the court, and the other officials are very uncomfortable.

And the clothes they wear, men wear green scarves and red and green silk belts, that is, they are forced to wear green turbans, as a sign to distinguish ordinary civilians, which is how the "cuckold" that people in later generations came from. And women also have a special distinction, to wear a bright horn crown, wear a soap coat, can not be compared with scholars, Shuren women, even walking on the street is not allowed to walk in the middle of the road, only to walk on the left and right sides of the road, and women are not allowed to wear gorgeous clothes in and out.

Such strict restrictions are to let these musicians know the lowliness of their status at all times.

Zhang Zhaohua was silent, of course she was extremely uneasy, but she didn't have the slightest ability to change all of this now, she could only rescue one or two people ashore, and she couldn't help the miserable life of the entire group.

"And this Lord Lu, who is quite a sycophant to me. Zhang Zhaohua remembered Lu Zhen's hesitation, and said: "I love fame again, but I am a person who understands current affairs." Such a person is actually what the palace needs. You can prepare some gifts for another day and send them to this Lord Lu's door. ”
